A Review for:
IN SEARCH OF ADVENTURE
by Alicia A. Willis
In Search of Adventure: A
Tale of Courage and Devotion had some extremely well developed
characters. The action is spaced out nicely and it is very family
friendly in aspect of content. Here is the synopsis:
Enter In Search of Adventure, the thrilling second installment of The Comrades of Honor Series! Packed with action at every bend, this tale takes up the story of Nathaniel de Lance, once the page of Sir Robert.
Now a young man and belted knight, Sir Nathaniel takes young Kenneth Dale for his squire, a boy left destitute by a stroke of ill-fortune. Quickly learning to trust and care for each other, Sir Nathaniel and Kenneth become fast friends, little knowing how much they will need their mutual comradeship.
Taking advantage of his liberty as a knight, Sir Nathaniel leaves his boyhood home to visit old friends. The small journey quickly takes an unexpected turn, however, and climaxes into a perilous adventure. Old enemies revisit the scene, creating hazards that require all of Sir Nathaniel’s strength and valor to overcome. Trapped in a hostile country, the question arises: Will he ever return?
Join Sir Nathaniel and Kenneth in their rousing adventure and witness the perils that strengthen their courage. Their friendship is extraordinary – but will the rewards of their devotion be greater still?
A novel of adventure, comradeship, and suspense, as a valiant knight seeks to overcome his merciless foes and retain honor in a hostile land.
The story is fun and there are very few bumps on this road to adventure. However there are some over-done sentences involving some harmless romance (which may make some male readers roll their eyes). And Kenneth and Sir Nathaniel seem to be too ready to cry, particularly in the beginning. The characters always use Old English in dialogue (which really adds to the realism factor) but may turn off some readers.
But Kenneth's teary eyed immaturity in the beginning actually underlines his growth later in the novel. How he stops being a cry baby to becoming a strong young warrior is really pleasant to watch.
The action will drag you to the edge of your seat. The story over all was pretty well paced. And the novel ends on a very satisfactory note.
